Is IT A LAW FOR CHINAMEN ONLY ?-At
the western end of the Sacramento and
Yolo bridge poll-tax collector makes it
very unhappy for Cinnamon passing by,
and frequently any baggage they have in
their possession is seized and held to COM
pei payment for poll-tax receipt Yester-
day Chinese laundryman residing in this
city went over to Washington to receive or
deliver some washing and was captured
by the collector. In answer to a demand
for poll tax, he produced receipt showing
that he had paid it in Sacramento. That
was admitted to be all right, but road tax
of 81 was then demanded. He demurred
to paying it, as he was not a resident of
Yolo county, but payment was insisted
upon and his load of clothing seized to en-
force it. AS he could do no better, he paid
for receipt, and on returning home was
advised by a friend to consult an attorney.

WHAT Our Soil CAN Do.-Samples of
wheat were brought to this office yesterday
from the Cardwell Grant that are of re-

feet in hight and the well-filled heads over
five inches in length. The party bringing
it in says it is fair sample of the standing
crop on $500 acres of that fertile tract
The same individual brought in samples of
alfalfa four and half feet high, grown
without irrigation. This alfalfa in some
200 acres was plowed up last winter and
sown in wheat, but the entire acreage is
well set with alfalfa of that hight.
